There is remarkable shift towards Agile methodologies
(particularly SCRUM), for Software development. One can find significant literature on
Agile/SCRUM based on philosophy and working knowledge. But there is a hole.
There is no literature which talks about when to say enough for development and
pass the baton to Support & Maintenance.
With my experience, I have developed a simple list of
symptoms which indicates that time is ripe to switch ownership of product from
development to maintenance team:
- When Product/Sprint Backlog is primarily consists of technical requirements.
- When Product/Sprint Backlog is primarily consists of functional requirements which will lead to realization of Wirth’sLaw.
- Resources spent on bug fixes is considerable part of resources spent on feature add.
I will appreciate, if you provide your feedback.
